Hello,

Just a reminder to submit your summaries of the discussions during the
dinner with the ICANN Board to Glen so that she can send a summary.

Chuck Gomes kindly sent the following summary of the discussion on his
table:

Here is a list of the discussion points that occurred at our table in
the Board/Council dinner meeting last night.

1. Difficulty in dealing with registrations of Punycode-like ASCII
registrations such as xn--verisign.com.
2. GAC does not want to have an operational role in the intro of new
gTLDs.
3. Idea of a global UDRP like process to deal with string issues
relating to public policy issues.
4. ICANN should proactively notify GAC about proposed strings as soon as
the application process ends.
5. ICANN should also attempt to notify governments that are not active
in the GAC.
6. The GAC should only be one communication channel regarding proposed
new gTLD strings.
7. The UDRP like process could be fit well with concerns about national
sovereignity.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
